Just got back from holiday in the Isle of Man.
Great roads! No speed limit!

It's very fiddly to edit those 'thumbnailed' posts, so here is the missing number 4 shot.

Hi John, great pix.

The Isle of Man looks stunning. I've flown over it countless times, but never got around to visiting. Really must do sometime, I've got a thing about islands!

Cheers

Very nice photos!
Thanks!

John, those are beautiful pics. I was born in Ballymena, N. Ireland, although I haven't been back for many years. My father used to tell me of trips to the Isle of Man. It looks spectacular and your car suits the environment perfectly.

Agreed - nice pics...and how clean does your car look! Frankly, that's amazing.

Beautiful pix.

What a nice bunch we all are in the 964 forum!

Thanks for the comments.

The car wasn't quite as clean as it appears in the pics, but I did wash it almost every day we were away.

The I.O.M. is a great place to visit just before the TT, because it's so quiet. Some of the roads are a bit on the bumpy side, but not too bad. Some are just superb and, yes, the joy of not having to keep watching out for plod!

You say you washed the car almost every day you were away ???????...really...u are a committed fellow.

You didnt use a jet wash did u ?

So the car got a quick wash over with water each evening, except the final night (and one other, when it was raining).

My car always has a really good layer of 'Mer' on it, which means dirt just falls off (even brake dust from the wheels).

I wish I could post the 'real' fullsize version of the third shot (my favourite of about 200 shots) but, at over 500kb, it's too big for Rennlist. Maybe I should put it up on my website.

John,

Nice pictures & hope you enjoyed your time away. I'm sure the car will have enjoyed stretching it's legs!

Have you thought of sending your favorite picture to John Miles? It sure looks good enough to included in his Wallpaper album!

Looks like while I was resizing things to post on Rennlist, I must have 'cut' instead of 'copied' the picture, so I've lost the big version!

However, it's my desktop.

Anyone know how I can resave it?

When you look at the 'properties' of the desktop, the file name is shown, but the PC thinks it's actually displaying nothing!

I've done a search for the file name and my PC is adamant that it doesn't exist!

Meanwhile, here's a 're-enlarged' version, but the quality has dropped, of course.

In the 'Photos of your 964' Album you can upload the full size image. It will then get resized for general viewing, but if folks click this image they will see the original full sized one. Alternatively they can go straight to the full size images but clicking 'full' at the top right.

Please also email me a couple for the hall of fame wallpaper gallery. Full size will do and please don't crop/resize/edit before sending.

Great pics, Great colour 964.

All - same goes for your pics!

John Boggiano

I already put some pics in that album, John.
Meanwhile, I'll email you a few from this trip.
